“We have already begun reviewing our federally funded programs and will soon take a broader look across the university to ensure we are protecting our mission and preserving our values.”
UH President Wendy Hensel provided an update on the most recent federal policy changes, and outlined how UH is responding, at the March 20 Board of Regents monthly meeting.
Hensel provided a stark update on the impact of new federal policies during a March 13 open forum, which was live-streamed to more than 1,000 viewers and more than 220 in-person attendees.
The council will meet twice a month, serving as a forum for community voices to help shape the university’s approach to evolving national policies.
The forum will be held on March 13, 3–4:30 p.m. at the UH Mānoa Campus Center Ballroom.
“No shift in federal policy can change who we are or our unwavering commitment to ensuring that every member of our campus community is valued and welcomed.”
The UH Foundation launched the Graduate Student Success Fund to provide direct relief to students affected by federal cuts.
“As we walk through this moment of change, it is critically important to say clearly that UH remains steadfast in its mission and core values.”
Hensel also provided an update on her tour of the UH campuses and education centers in her first 90 days as UH President
“I can assure you that we are approaching this moment with care, thoughtfulness, and an unwavering commitment to our students, faculty, staff, and the communities we serve.”
